Shade Oak Stud

Shade Oak Stud National Hunt racing and breeding. Over the past decade we have striven for the best blood lines, athletic, temperaments and truly pripotent stallions.

About Shade Oak
Situated in a fertile, lowland area of the county and surrounded by mixed arable and livestock farmland, the enterprise is run by Peter and his wife Emma, with the help of permanent, and temporary staff taken on for the stud season. Service
Careful observation determines when a mare is in season, with the aid of our veterinary surgeon. Coverings are timed to keep the mare's womb in

pristine condition and minimum contamination techniques are used for mares with high risk wombs. A special barren unit is available to simulate "day light environment" which enables the day time to be extended, therefore aiding an early oestrus cycle of barren mares. Scanning the mare's womb enables pregnancies to be detected 16 days after covering and subsequent scans are used to establish a healthy growing foetus. Early detection of twin embryos offer our veterinary surgeon the chance of "removing" one embryo wherever possible. All mares entering the stud are required to have negative tests and swabs in accordance with the Thoroughbred Breeders Association Code of Practice.
